OK.

If you recall, I noted that the original image's navigation seemed to
be shifted and that shift was maintained through both IMGCOPY and
IMGREMAP. I assumed that the reason for the shift had something to
do with how the original image was created, but I did not think more
about it after that.

Yes, it is puzzling to me why/how GEMPAK's navigation registration
seems to be better.
To satisfy my interest, I did the following to come up with an AREA
version of your original image in which the navigation registration
matches with discernible landmarks (e.g., Great Lakes, Great Salt
Lake, Florida coast):

I have attached the GIF screen capture (newusatopo._hires_imgcopy.gif) and
modified AREA file (AREA3049) to this email so you can see/use the results.
I then IMGREMAPped the file using:
IMGREMAP MYDATA/IMAGES.3049 MYDATA/IMAGES.3050 SSIZE=ALL PRO=PS X 97 SIZE=ALL
RES=6
and displayed the result using:
IMGDISP MYDATA/IMAGES.3050;MAP FILE=OUTVHPOL
EB <- adjust enhancement to accentuate landmarks
I have attached the resulting GIF (newusatopo_hires_imgremap.gif) and AREA file
(AREA3050) to this email so you can see/use the results.
Cheers,
Tom
